How to Make the Most of Your German Lessons

As any language learner knows, it takes time and dedication to reach fluency. It’s also important to study grammar as well as vocabulary and practice all the different skills required to be a successful German speaker.

One classic pitfall that new German learners fall into is using a single free app as their only resource. With something as complex as a language, one app will never cover everything you need to know, so it’s best to use multiple resources that offer different explanations and exposure to the language.

It’s also a good idea to start with pronunciation guides, which help you hear the difference between German and English sounds. This will allow you to make the most of your time learning German by starting with the sounds that are most difficult to replicate in a written language.

Another thing that new German learners often forget is that speaking is the only way they’ll reach fluency. They’re afraid of embarrassment, but in reality it’s only natural to make mistakes when you first start out — just remember that the more you speak, the less you’ll mispronounce things.

Lastly, it’s important to practice using the verbs gehen, spielen and lernen (to go, play and learn). Learning them early on will give you a solid foundation for all other German grammar. It will also help you to understand how modal verbs (like can, might and must) work in German, which allows you to express a wide range of ideas from possibility to permission to obligation.
